I use Pandora when I'm in my car, at the gym, or running, and quite a bit of mobile web. I use a good 4-5GB every month. That's WITHOUT using any YouTube or Skype or SlingBox or anything bandwidth-hungry like that.
If AT&T has a problem with that, they can give me my $60/mo back.
You actually gave me a grin. In the rental office I work in, we accept packages from USPS, UPS, DHL, and FedEx for them - we sign so they don't have to be home, and then keep them in the back office.
After 4 years of employment, the first damaged package ever from FedEx Express was delivered today. It was for us, a lease, in a FedEx Express envelope, stuffed in a FedEx Pak, stuffed in a FedEx Express Box. It was smashed flat (really? Who stuffs a document in THAT MANY coverings), and the delivery guy, who I've seen daily for about 4 years, was ashamed to hand it to me, and had already filled out a damage form and told me I didn't have to sign. I had a good laugh with the guy, quite surprised that so long had gone by without a single damaged article. UPS is the only company that brings us mangled boxes with regularity.
Now that's service with a smile!
Oh, and the 22 (!) page lease, despite the mangled packaging, was not damaged at all, if a little wrinkled. Still quite legal.
Lowered? When I took them in '02, it was 50 minimum for a grunt, 31 if you had a high school diploma. That's slightly better than a warm wet blanket. What are they now?!
I've had strabismic amblyopia (lazy eye due to misalignment of the eyes at birth, not refractive issues - although I have those, too) since birth, cosmetically corrected, but playing video games hasn't done a damn thing to correct it. I've had surgery to cosmetically correct it, but too late for my brain to be OK with that.
It's the weirdest thing to try and describe, since its effects are much permanent without drastic measures. Even with contacts that correct my vision to 20/20, my right eye just doesn't see like the left. If I cover my right eye, I can read with normal speed. If I cover my left, even though I would pass a vision test with flying colors, I must concentrate - HARD! - on every word. It's as if someone turned up the dimmer switch on that eye. I can't catch a ball to save my life. depth perception is just not there. However, every other function is, my peripheral vision is >180 degrees, color is just fine, so is focus. Perception is not.
So how is a game presented on a 2D monitor supposed to improve that? My brain can continue to rely on it's one "fellow eye" system just fine staring at a monitor.
Wow, way to write a cogent, calm reply. I think the fact that I said "now said narc had to turn in 10 others, costing me money" speaks volumes about the uselessness of the law and our legal system here - they just cost my company thousands because they found a college kid with a joint. And if you think a college kid with a joint is an "illegal drug abuser", go back to your Tea Party meeting, you're at the wrong forum.
Martinson turned Hogan in, because Hogan had plugged the phone into her laptop in an attempt to get it working again after Apple remotely disabled it. She was convinced that Apple would be able to trace her Internet IP address as a result.
Some people genuinely fear any possible threat of accusation by police. They feel that they MUST be guilty of something if a cop's at their door. The kind of people without the cajones to stand up to authority. I'm on the opposite end of the scale, I'm gonna give a cop attitude even when I DID do wrong, but the other end of the scale is just as bad. It leads to people turning into narcs.
I just finished my undergraduate career last year, the past 2 years of it as the RA's supervisor at a complex with 600+ college freshmen and sophomores. I absolutely hated having to deal with dicks who just wouldn't listen or learn, who would give me attitude and try and chest-pound while I'm just trying to keep the cops off of my property.
What's worse is that narcs. One kid gets caught selling a dime bag to a cop, and then gets 10 others busted by being an informant. His pissant mistake will ruin the lives of countless others, and here's the kicker: 10 kids kicked out of school because he sung to the po-po means my company loses $5,000 a month in rent, and I lose bonus money on returning students. Not only that, but now there's fifty other kids who are pissed and destroying property (mostly the narcs) because of it.
Moral of the story? Shut your fucking mouth, and let the people who want to know things figure them out on their own just like the rest of us.
So what you're saying is I'm too lazy to walk 45 miles to class or walk the 5 miles to the bus station to get to class 2 hours early and leave 2 hours late after an 8 hour day?
Cars are only a problem for those too stuck up to realize their fucking HUGE utility.
So what you're saying is that low-blood sugared similar sounding strings of phonemes that obliterate the meaning of an utterance can remove the windows from my kin that suffer from excessive cerebral amyloid plaque deposits?
I'll call your 10 years multifamily experience. =) Won't raise tho.
And you're certainly correct - didn't mean to call you out, except that, well this is/. and real estate isn't really the forte around here!
But you mistook my anecdote: Childs may have had to give up the passwords to the group he met during his original confrontation with HR, etc. (the "other maintenance guy"), but that was not clear, hence the trial. Should he have waited for the mayor the property manager?
That's how I take it from my understanding. He may have not understood that he was authorized and required to give up the passwords to his supervisors, and not just the mayor. Kinda like my prop mgr would find it a little odd if I rekeyed an apartment and would only give the master to the corporate office!
Wow. My state (PA) has been up in arms over our rate cap being removed. I'm assuming that your link is generation charges?
Where I'm located, our rate caps have been off for a while. Generation is $0.04758/kWh. Distribution is $0.0685/kWh on peak, $0.0125/kWh off peak, plus a $11.24/mo access charge.
Then again, we melted down a nuke reactor and kept the rest of the station running, so yins can keep your expensive power, I'll let my legislature (Google: Three Mile Island) take the roentgens.
Trial is a noun and a verb, to trial. It comes from Anglo-Norse triet, which came from Old French trier.
In actuality, the word entered the modern English language as a verb first. But it's OK, you can keep your Hitler 'stache. We're talking technicalities here.
That's funny. The last emergency message given, that you quoted, is for the area I'm posting from. Considering the general lack of life and/or economic activity in the area, I would like to know where the hell 11 megawatts is ending up.
Woo! Big miss! The landlord (by default) CANNOT just come in without proper notice, at least by PA Landlord-Tenant Law.
Either way, the analogy doesn't apply at all. Childs wasn't leasing anything here. It would be as if the landlord here had a maintenance man who changed all the locks, and then wouldn't hand over the master keys to another maintenance man because the landlord wasn't there to say it was OK.
Could ya possibly send me some links on actual information about this subject? I'm one of the/. minorities here, I have a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, and I'm going to be studying law this fall with a concentration in family law. I'm a big geek though, and programs like this need advocated. I know all about finding, evaluating, and selecting evidence-based programs, but YOU'RE RIGHT! It's no easy task to wade through lists of "evidence-based" practices and select one that would be appropriate for every client.
My younger brother was (and still is as an adult) in and out of the system because of inadequate risk profiling, and rest assured, the judges and other authorities in the system aren't going to listen to Masters-degree Mom & Dad and Bachelors-degree brother, even if it IS our area of expertise. THis would make for some interesting reading for the 3 of us.
Huh? Countless studies show that the addictive power of nicotine in cigarettes is at least as powerful as that of heroin, and last I checked, people aren't killing each other over ciggies. Not only that, but the countless number of people addicted to prescription painkillers aren't out there "feeding off of us", and such drugs are within one or two radicals of heroin (diamorphine).
I'm not sure I understand the car registration thing. I'm a USian, and I have to have two forms of information for my car. First is the title, issued by my state, that says I am the official owner of the car. This, however, does not permit me to drive the car on public roads, only really on private land. The second is my registration for my license (number) plate. The title is permanent, I always own the car. However, I must pay a yearly fee to my state to register the car for use on public roads, and if I don't, I have to return my plate. And that plate is certainly attached to my name (but not any national or state ID number, all they have is my name, address, and signature).
So how does it work down there? I know about "Hoy no circula" en Mexico City, and it would seem necessary that one couldn't just attach any plate to their car or else the whole system would be pointless!
I just quit smoking, but my IQ's been measured between 145-165. The higher the measured IQ, the higher the "developmental range". So does that mean my IQ just went up?
I'd actually like to see the data they used for this. I've read studies before that said high-IQ students, on average, listen to angrier music. Smoking's a pretty angry thing to do, I guess.
Slashdot Mirror
I dunno, man. When I had a TyTn II, I could replace the radio firmware. I guarantee ya I could have caused havoc for AT&T if I wanted.
No way! Rocket surgeons!
Stealing "Valuable iPhone ecosystem data"?
I normally don't take the flamebait, but kiss my ass, fanboi. It's anticompetitive, plain and simple.
I have to see Dish ads on my cable feed, I hear ads at my work in a leasing office for other housing providers.
Get over yourself.
Years and years of wondering why we've got 16, 32, 48 and crazily 44.1kHz, solved in a Slashdot post.
Ya learn something every day! Thanks, dood.
yep, about 70 hours a week. how the hell do you think I afford that bill?
Huh?

A right to free speech also includes the right to NOT speak. ie, say my name.
Is it OBD-II? My old OBD-I vehicle did that, but I don't see how they could do it on a OBD-II car, as the codes start with a letter.

Not going there on the disassembly right, but,
You have no right to photograph the prototype for commercial purposes.
Huh? He found it in a fucking public place! Of COURSE he has the right to photograph the fucking phone, this isn't the USSR!
Cops are pushy. Not only that, but:
